If you know what the top level call is, say `foo-bar', and you are
using unstable CVS, the following _might_ successfully tell you the
last Scheme thing that happened before the segv:

guile> (use-modules (ice-9 debugger breakpoints))

It would be nice if one could ask for a Scheme backtrace from GDB; I
don't think this is possible today.  (Maybe try `call
scm_backtrace()'.)
